I still think you are missing the point. No one is forcing you to take on debt for having kids, you're doing that to yourself by having kids.
That's like saying that you are being forced to take on debt when you by a house because your job doesn't pay you enough for you to afford a house. If you don't have the funds to do something don't do it; rather than doing it then blaming the system when you go into a lifetime of debt because of your own crappy decision.
3. To be honest, if I was a business owner (the person paying your maternal leave) I don't give a **** if you want to have kids in your twenties. Thats money that'd be coming out of the business I am trying to run because you "need" to have kids now, instead of waiting 10 years when you are financially stable. - Why should I, a business owner, have to sacrifice my recourses because you are too impatient to have a kid in 10 years when you can actually afford it?
- Does just the general idea of having a kid when you are 20 years old, financially instable, and most likely mentally immature honestly sound like a good idea to you? Is that the kind of person we want to be parents, people who can't wait to have kids so they do it anyway when they *should* know they can't afford it?
- Are you actually sure most people want to have kids in their twenties, because I have never heard of that, I know this is anecdotal but everyone I have met wants kids in their twenties, you know, when they are out of college and have a career lined up.

I didn't miss the point of your previous post, I was more saying that while it is entirely voluntary, the time you actually can do it is limited.
And no, I haven't done any research on when people want to have their kids. More just off personal experience.
Right or wrong, you've given me some food for thought. Thanks for sharing your perspective, not much left for us to debate at this point
